Really depends on your location, but there is much more variety in everything in the US.

I'm from Peterborough.

I'd rather not.

Yea, By order of the Queen we're to sail over tomorrow and start confiscating and collecting back taxes.
>>
>>51725498

I wouldn't describe myself as particularly fond of Britain.

>>51725560

Have a whole collection of them and make a mint every time Obama decides to open his gob on gun control.

>>51725561

Not I. I'll have an occasional meat pie, but pie isn't really my thing.

>>51725563
uh what

also i'm pretty conservative on most things, guns and religion notwithstanding, can you tell me what's the big deal about guns?

Don't lie to me Piers, I'm on to you.

Its super easy for Yanks to get gf's here m8, a bunch of your Chair force boys used to pick up the local slags when I lived in Cambridge with relative ease.

>>51725824
>What made you come here?
American salaries are loads better and the British have a way of tearing down anyone who achieves anything. They are a jealous, entitled lot.

>What did you drink?

Chocolate milk stout. Feeling a bit ill t b h.

>What do you do for a living?

financial advising

>When switching to snow tires, so I have to change all four tires, or can I just switch the two in the back?

Never used a snow tire in my life mate. We don't get much here.

Never had any issues. Had the TV license people around a fair few times though.

enjoying the tacos?
>>
>>51726016

I do. Tex-Mex wasn't on the menu often back home and when it was it was done poorly.
>>
>>51726061
curious, kebab or tacos? and while at it, spics or sandniggers?
>>
>>51725931
In order

1. Canada
2. Australia
3. New Zealand
4. United Kingdom
5. Germany or Ireland
>>
>>51726103
>Germany

how? they watch all of our shows dubbed in german unlike the dutch or nordics.
>>
>>51726103
I've heard pretty much everywhere that Australia is very Americanized, is Ameribooism common there at all?

>>51726103
Mexico is pretty similar to the South of the USA

>>51725890
Woah there's another guy with a Brit gf? Guess that makes 2 of us. Sorry i had to take her away from you Britbros.
>>
>>51726087

Actually prefer Greek gyros to kebab. They're similar to a doner, but better.

Hardly have any spics in my area, but from what I've seen I prefer them. Asians (arabs to you) in the us tend to be much more integrated and westernized in the US they are back home though.
>>
>>51726179
Most of our similarities come from the fact we were both settled by the English in a similar time frame, and many of our landscapes share quite a bit in common (Particularly Florida, California, and some of the desert states).

I know a few Ameriboos who constantly shill your shitty sports all over facebook, and they're definitely increasing.

>>51726179

>>51726208

He posts here pretty frequently. Both of us put up a fair few Brit triggering threads.

>>51726254

Sports are one of the worst parts of American culture. My apologies.

What are the people in America like compared to England?
>>
>>51726292
>are you some sorta normie?
Yes.
>>51726299
No worries, it just irritates me. It seems like the NFL has done a deal with broadcasters over here and so they've started showing some games even though we've never followed the sport. The greedy cunts are obviously trying to expand.
>>
>>51726299
We only get dribs and drabs of the NFL on the lesser channels, though they have been putting more and more games on at Wembley as of late. Personally If I had to pick I'd rather have Hockey become the meme sport here but hey.
>>
>>51726378
Yeah I actually like hockey. Though whenever the NHL does an exhibition game here they only send their memey AHL players so it's not really worth seeing.
>>
>>51726299
what i find amazing is that the games last 3 hours and only 16 minutes of actual playing time happens.
>>
>>51726363
>>51726378
Yeah, the NFL is apparently gonna have several games over in London might want to build a team over there. Gotta get more of that Anglo money. How would football teams react if all the poor black kids tried for NFL teams instead?

>>51726453
That's why TV companies love the sport, plenty of time for commercials.
>>
>>51726453
There's a lot of coordination that needs to be set up between plays. That's why there's a lot of break time
>>
>>51725405
What do you think about the accent? I'm talking about the General American accent. To me it sounds like its "flattened" compared to the General UK accent.
>>
>>51726483
Sure, but it's interesting that people actually watch it. I tried once but got bored after half an hour.
>>
>>51726338

Varies by the region and person, but they tend to be more outgoing, positive, energetic, self-reliant, hard-working and enthusiastic. They also admire those are successful rather than trying to cut them down like the British tend to do. There does appear to be a strain of anti-intellectualism though, the corporate culture is dreadful, and I sometimes can't stand the noises that they make at public events. The shouting and "woohoo"ing gets to me.

>>51726363

They're doing the same here with football. The lefty europhile sorts are eating it up in America.

>>51726378

Don't really watch much sport, but hockey is pretty ace.
>>
I have a question for brits.
I have the opportunity to study abroad pretty soon and I wanna go to england. I'm fairly outgoing if I have to be but am very nervous/anxious about the idea of trying to make friends in a whole different cunt. Would I be able to chat/make friends at uni easily? Are people in UK very reserved like I have been lead to believe or is this more of a meme? Is it easy to break into uni groups and shit like gaming/dnd? What will people think of me since I'm a burger? Here people are more intrigued by brits and will ask lots of questions and shit and they don't have a hard time making friends. I desperately want to study abroad but I'm so fucking afraid I'll end up alone and hating it.
>>
>>51725405
How long have you lived in America and how long has it been since you've looked down and been able to see your penis?
>>
>>51726506

Accent doesn't bother me with the exception of the Wisconsin area and some of the more "stereotypical suburban housewife" sorts with the nasally voice.

This is the shit thing about globalisation.

Anglos stick together Jamal :)
>>
>>51726540

Brits definitely aren't as outgoing, but just take them down to the pub. After they've had a few they open up. Drinking is pretty much the only acceptable social event there. They'll also likely take the mick out of you for being a burger, so be prepared with banter of your own.

>>51726541

Over 4 years now. I'm 5 foot 8 and 10 stone (about 140lbs), so fairly trim. Actually lost weight since being here now that I can actually go outdoors.
>>
>>51726540
Where is the University m8?

We Brits differ from place to place.
>>
>>51726540
In terms of the most of those things you'll be fine;

Most people at non-"ivy league" unis are pretty open and welcoming, so don't worry too much about not being accepted. Though it's true that we're not *as* outgoing as you guys.


Almost all will offer clubs and space for people to practice hobbies. Usually the best way to start is to go to what we call "Freshers fair" which is a big collection of the groups, clubs and local businesses presenting themselves. Look for the DnD / Gamer guys and find out where they meet.

In terms of generally studying here? It depends on what you expectations are and what you want to get out of it and pick accordingly, no point going to a uni in London if hate ethnics and cramped spaces and there's no point going to a university in the arse end of Wales if you want just that.
>>
>>51726693

Did you ever partake in the freshers week events? Jesus they were awful.

>>51726629
Plymouth University

>>51725405
what places have you visited in the usa since we are pretty fucking big? What was your favorite?
>>
>>51726752
The themed ones at the S.U etc? No, I jumped straight into living with second years and they told me they were shit so I never bothered.
>>
>>51726693
I don't wanna be stuck in some chav shithole but sure as hell don't wanna be surrounded by darkies. I get enough of that here. The study abroad programs were cheaper if they were not in London and I'm happy with that. Though I definitely still want to see London.
>>
gimme some british aerospace manufacturers buds

I only know of BAE systems and I can't be assed to google
>>
>>51726798

I went to a few. Essentially just a meat market where they loaded a bunch of young impressionable freshers up with cheap liquor and turned them loose. The SU had posters up all over practically outright telling people to come and be as much of a slag as possible. It was pretty grim. You'd never see anything like it in the US.

>>51726789

Been to most states by now. Haven't seen much of the NW though.
>>
>>51726881

Bombadier and Airbus? Sorry lad. I don't work in the field, so I'm not too up on these things.

Cant think of any more.

>>51726828
Rule of thumb is the lower down the tables you go the more "chavs" you see and the closer to London / "major" cities you get the darker it will be but there are some exceptions, you can find most information you need by googling the uni + variable (Ethnicity, job placement etc)

The touristy bits, Museums and some of the hipster bits are nice to visit but I wouldn't spend too much time there. It's also ridiculously expensive

Enrolment at Plymouth for example as of last year is 85% white, depending on your course and your habits you might be hard pressed to see any large number of minorities.
>>
>>51727043

Chavs, in the traditional sense, aren't nearly as common as they used to be.
>>
>>51727043
>85% white
Exactly why I picked it. Your whole post applies pretty well for here too. I can only imagine how many euros study abroad in cali or nyc only to find out they are put in brown as fuck areas. On the flip side you'd also not want to be dropped in flyover/deep south hick hell hole where you have to do farm work as I've witnessed first hand.
>>
>>51727183

You'd be surprised. I studied in Cambridge, which is practically all white and it was dreadful.

The students. You think American frat guys and sorority girls are a nightmare? You've never seen the likes of British uni students.

I went to Anglia Ruskin. It was awful.
>>
>>51727737
me2fam, Now I understand why you hate students.

>>51727862

Did you ever go to the SU events? Couldn't actually believe that they put some of them on. They were proper disgusting.

>>51727939
I went to a "comedy" show that had a drag artist basically pretend to be Joan Collins, apart from that I stayed well clear.
>>
>>51727997

You were lucky. I was dragged into a few. Nightmares. Friday/saturday nights out in the town weren't much better though.
>>
>>51728042
>Friday/saturday nights

So, Regal then whatever flavour of sweaty dank music they were feeling. Sounds about right.
>>
>>51728233

Never been to Regal. Might not have been open when I was in uni as it was a fair few years ago.
>>
>>51728233

You mean the Spoons? If so, they're bad in pretty much any town. Dodgy food, expensive drinks, and shit people.
>>
>>51728450

Spoons is basically a microcosm of Britain. The food tastes awful, the service is terrible, everything is overpriced, the music is dreadful, and the people are sleazy and off their heads on drink and poppers.
